April 24, 20197 yr Just found out that one of my lifetime friends & Bolton fanatic has died. Some of you from the Manny Rd paddock will know his face from years ago. He was the owner of Athertons Fruit & Veg & worked his wotsits off all his life. He's been in corporate for a while now but I've been in some proper scrapes with him in the past. A veteran of the Pisa expedition too. So many stories about him... RIP
April 24, 20197 yr My mate works for him,i met the guy back in the day - iirc he was no shrinking violet! Rip Tony
April 25, 20197 yr Author 8 hours ago, Smiley said: RIP. Name rings a bell. Did he run the Sweet Green for a while? No, he's always owned Athertons Fruit & Veg since he took over from his Dad. They were next to the Odeon before moving across town, now on the corner of Blackburn Rd & the Valley. He was mates with Ivan (who worked as a driver for Howarths on the market), Winny, Boney (Horwich), Dolly. Edited April 25, 20197 yr by Steejay
April 26, 20197 yr Don’t know the name but judging by the company he kept I will have known his face i’m sure we’ve had a bad run on this front recently Rest well Wanderer
